Hi Guys! I am 20 & am weighing at 185, 5”4 right now . I bought a cycling indoor bike and my goal is to use it atleast 3 times a week I burn 300calories in an hour and I’m trying to up my calories to lose around 400-500 in an hour . I’ve never been small and I am trying to get to my goal weight of 140 . Sometimes it’s hard to stay motivated with being in school and family eating take out , there is a lot of temptations but I’m trying to stay strong and I wanna be healthy and look good . If anyone would like to share advice or maybe if anyone else who has lost weight by cycling can share their journey with me ? Thank you in advance !

How many calories are you eating? That's what matters.

Do you want to lose weight? Eat less, move more. It's not classified information

You don't have to kill yourself on that bike if you don't like it. Absolutely it is good for you, but by just eating a bit less you can avoid spending so much time exercising.

You lose weight by controlling the balance between what you eat and what you spend.

The amount of calories that you can control by exercise and additional activity is *relatively* small: you only have so many hours for additional activity in a day. Plus you get tired. And could get injured. You need rest days. You might catch a cold. Etc.

You have much more control over what you actually eat.

You can chose to eat less of what you have been eating, or you can chose to optimize what you have been eating with an eye towards increasing satiety while minimizing calories.

Exercise is good. And healthy. And might be good for some nice dessert too. But your weight loss? That will primarily come from your choices when it comes to your food and drink consumption.
